I oppose the plan of building a new restaurant in my neighborhood. You might think that having a new restaurant allow you to eat nice meal very day but actually it will truly cause disadvantages far more than advantages. （評：雖有小文法錯誤，但條理清晰，開頭開得不錯。）

Let me pick three of them as examples.（評：文意不夠清楚，建議換詞）First, a new restaurant, as you think, can definitely attract the crowd, which will surely catch us in the traffic jam. With so many cars parking and people lining up nearby my house, the street become narrow. I cannot go outside easily by driving a car, riding a bike, or even walking.（評：在這裡加個起承轉合詞，標示第二個論點的開展。）Lots of people will also bring noises and trash. They may throw their garbage such as bottles, tissue papers and disposable tableware on the street. Second, the type of customers the new restaurant will bring into our neighborhood is what I really concern. A small family restaurant would not be a problem but if it is going to have a bar or dance hall, then there could cause problems. The restaurant might close up late and people leaving the restaurant might be drunk. This kind of situation will definitely lead to fights, noises and polices’ coming. Lastly, the excessive exhaust emission of the restaurant is a big advantage. To me, fresh air is the most important thing in my life so as water to fish. Constantly inhale the exhaust from the restaurant kitchen will also let my neighbor come down with asthma, cancer and allergy. （評：可再細說廚房油煙為何對人體健康的危害如此嚴重。）

By what I have mentioned, building a new restaurant is definitely bad to everyone in my neighborhood. Though all of us may can be convenient when we are hungry, I think our health and life quality will be more important. I will strongly oppose to the plan and live in the fresh air.

The reasons why I am against the proposal of incorporating a new restaurant into my community are threefold. First, the opening of a new restaurant, as you might think, can definitely attract the crowd, which ends up causing chaotic traffic and getting local residents stuck in the traffic jam. With so many cars parking and people lining up nearby my house, the streets might become narrow or even blocked. I cannot go outside easily by driving a car, riding a bike, or even walking. Besides, lots of people will also bring noises and trash. They may throw their garbage such as bottles, tissue papers and disposable tableware on the street. Second, the type of customers the new restaurant will bring into our neighborhood is what I really concern. A small family restaurant would not be a problem but if it is a bar or dance hall, then there could raise safety concerns with all sorts of issues. The late-night bars and clubs, serving alcohol, might foster a dangerous environment of binge drinking, public urination, vomiting, brawls and arrests every day.

Lastly, the excessive exhaust from the restaurant ventilation system can be a big disadvantage. To me, fresh air is the most important thing in my life so as water to fish. Constant inhalation of smoke which contains various poisonous pollutants such as carbon monoxide would trigger respiratory illnesses and aggravate asthmatic symptoms. Besides, the exhaust drifting into our home can create indoor pollution, which is even more detrimental to our health. As a whole, we spend more time indoors than outdoors and the indoor air is re-circulated and can therefore become more concentrated with toxic substances.

Based on I have mentioned, I strongly opposed a new restaurant in my neighborhood. Though all of us may be convenient when we are hungry, I think our health and life quality will be more important.

I strongly oppose the plan of building a new restaurant in my neighborhood. To some people, living near a new restaurant is convenient because it allows you to eat nice meals every day but actually, its feared disadvantages far outweigh the perceived advantages.

The reasons why I am against the proposal of incorporating a new restaurant into my community are threefold. First, the opening of a new restaurant, as you might think, might attract a huge crowd, which could end up causing chaotic traffic and getting local residents stuck in the traffic jam. With so many cars parking and people lining up nearby my house, the streets might become narrow or even blocked. I cannot go outside easily by driving a car, riding a bike, or even walking. Besides, lots of people will also bring noises and trash. They may throw their garbage such as bottles, tissue papers and disposable tableware on the street. Second, the type of customers the new restaurant will bring into our neighborhood is what I really concern. A small family restaurant would not be a problem but if it is a late-night bar or club, then it could raise safety concerns with all sorts of issues. Serving alcohol, the facility might foster a dangerous environment of binge drinking, public urination, vomiting, brawls and arrests every day.

Lastly, the excessive exhaust from the restaurant ventilation system can be a big disadvantage. To me, fresh air is the most important thing in my life so as water to fish. Constant inhalation of smoke which contains various poisonous pollutants such as carbon monoxide would trigger respiratory illnesses and aggravate asthmatic symptoms. In addition, the exhaust drifting into my home can create indoor pollution, which is definitely more detrimental to my health. After all, we spend more time indoors than outdoors as a whole and the indoor air is re-circulated and can therefore become more concentrated with toxic substances.

Based on what I have mentioned above, I don’t regard opening a new restaurant in my neighborhood as a fabulous idea. Though having a restaurant within walking distance of my apartment is really convenient when I am hungry, I still think that my health and life quality are far more important.
